Sports bags for handball and tournaments
Check what you’re bringing before choosing your kit bag: a pair of indoor shoes, a change of clothes, a towel and a water bottle don’t take up the same space as a weekend tournament with two outfits.
From the small session bag to the large wheeled model, the selection covers every journey for players, coaches and clubs.
From S to XL: choose the size based on your travels
A small bag is enough for an evening session. The M holds two outfits and shoes, while the L and XL are for tournaments, training camps, and team bags. The Core 2.0 from Hummel comes in S, M, and L, with a stabilizer at the bottom of the bag. The K-Line from Kempa also comes in various sizes, and the Milano from Select offers a large size.
Shoulder strap, convertible or wheels: how to carry
The adjustable shoulder strap remains the most common option. The convertible bags from Eastpak, like the Carry, can also be used as a backpack. For heavy bags, wheeled models like the Travel Line from Erima or the Team Trolley from Hummel help prevent carrying all the weight on one shoulder.
Sports bag: keep the dirty away from the clean
After a match, the wet outfit and shoes shouldn't touch your everyday clothes. A shoe compartment or separate pocket can make a big difference. If not, a simple fabric bag will do. Always empty your bag the same evening: a sports bag left closed with a damp outfit quickly smells like a locker room.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size of sports bag for a handball player?
A M is suitable for most players: it comfortably holds a kit, shoes, a towel, and a water bottle. Choose an L if you often take two outfits or goalkeeper gear.
Can a sports bag be used as carry-on luggage?
A small model may pass as cabin luggage if its dimensions fit your airline's rules. Check them before departure, as they vary from one airline to another.
How to clean a sports bag that smells bad?
Empty it, air it out, then clean the inside with a sponge and some diluted white vinegar. Let it dry open, away from a radiator.
Sports bag or backpack for a child?
The backpack distributes weight better for a young person walking to the gym. The sports bag remains practical when a parent drops them off by car.
How to pack your bag for a two-day tournament?
Place shoes and the match outfit at the bottom, the spare outfit on top, and the toiletry bag within reach. Slip in an empty fabric bag to separate dirty laundry from the very first match.
